Microsoft's Bill Gates says the raging popularity of Apple's iPod player is "unsustainable." Gates Sees Mobile Phones Overtaking iPods [Reuters.com].
Yeah, right. Just like the "Tablet PC" was going to make laptops extinct and Microsoft's "Media PC" is going to take over the family room entertainment centers of the world. Can I have some of what he's smoking?

Well it all depends. I don't see ipods as being phased out in the near future at all, but I can see other companies taking advantage of Apple's flaws.
Example: there's that whole issue with ipods and unremovable batteries. If mobile's incorporate memory large enough to match ipods then they probably will have the upper hand (replaceable batteries and all).

Whatever, I hope you are well. I miss your pithy comments on the events of the day. Erstwhile relative
